Summary
UnitedHealthcare has appointed Tim Noel as CEO, following the December 4 killing of former chief Brian Thompson in Manhattan.
Noel, a company veteran, takes charge as public anger grows over U.S. healthcare costs.
Thompson’s death sparked debates on the industry and led to a five-day manhunt.
Suspect Luigi Mangione, arrested in Pennsylvania, faces 11 state charges, including terrorism-related murder, and federal charges that could result in the death penalty.
Andrew Witty was the CEO of Arthur Andersen. For the Gen Zers out there, Arthur Andersen was one of the big five accounting firms until they were found to be massively cooking the books for the energy company Enron. Enron is also largely responsible for California’s fucked “deregulation” energy market. He is a crook and United Health knew that when they put him in to head the board.
